Speaking to The Yorkshire Evening Post, Dr Hussain said: "Working on a medical ward caring for patients with COVID-19 is a different environment from my usual role in dermatology but the team here are fantastic and the video has really helped us to get to know one another and boost morale.
"Maintaining good morale is really important at this time – at Leeds Teaching Hospitals we have a good staff health and well-being network as well as fantastic support from the public through donations to our charity Leeds Cares."
